how much privacy is a larp vs actually based?so i used to be a bit more schizo about privacy in the past after personal experience with doxxing and seeing other cases of people who were on the receiving end of what is worse.but how much of privacy is generally a larp?sometimes i feel like the sane approach is to privacy is1. put as little information online as possible2. don't make enemies or pickup stupid fightsa lot of privacy advise online is focused on online digital privacy. great but i think there is a neglect of real life privacy. some of the cases i have seen of people getting doxed weren't due to some database leak or IP logging or OSINT triangulation or something. it was just some weirdo calling their grandma and pretending to be a delivery man who got lost and wasn't getting answered or something. that's how people almost got killed in some cases.so how do you deal with that? just don't make enemies i guess?also should one use aliases online? or just go by their real name? I think sometimes aliases can give you a false sense of privacy and comfort which leads to you sharing more than you would have shared had you gone by your real name. because when you are using your real name you tend to be more careful about what you are sharing.I think a great rule of thumb is that if you aren't okay with everyone potentially finding out about it. it shouldn't leave your computer unless encrypted with a key only you have access to it and is only stored locally or in your head.discuss.
LARP refers to Live Action Role Play, you meant posers.
It’s basically pointless unless you’re committing a crime and then it’s all about hiding specific info not everything.

>>109777659First of all, you need to figure out your threat model(s). Who are you trying to be private *from*? Is it just random script kiddies and jeets who might harass you? Is it a government? Is it corporations building social credit/advertising profiles? Is it ALL of those? Your approach would differ based on the answers to those questions. It sounds like your concern is mostly about random internet users being able to doxx you based on what you put online. If that's the case, you need to just get used to compartmentalizing, and being careful about oversharing. Don't do or say anything which publicly links your real life identity to your aliases. In most cases when that happens, it's because someone did something REALLY retarded, like re-using an email between their IRL and aliased accounts.
>>109778600well. i think for government surveillance it's not something you can do much about. you can sure do some things to bypass censorship, which they are willing to tolerate letting a few tech literate people get away with. but if you do anything radioactive they will eventually find you. so our safest bet is moving to a country that is your country's enemy. even Snowden did that.as for corporations. desu. i don't care much. i don't mind them using some of the data i deliberately choose to give them if it means a better more personalized browsing experience. i would rather see ads about shit i might actually be interested in than some random item. just don't upload anything super personal on their servers. the only issue with corporations is that their databases gettings leaked which then puts some of this data at the hands of anyone.the third category is what i am concerned about. some people are just crazy. and are willing to find you and harass you irl if you say something they don't like online. they might publish false accusations about you online and hope some insane person would carry an attack against you. and there are cases like what i mentioned earlier of abusive exes and friends who might want to take revenge on you or something and they can hire a private investigator to find you.i think for most people the last category is the most dangerous.
